VspyVspy: Sniper; +183|7094|A sunburnt country

My wife sent me this quiz this morning at work and it doesn't come with an answer.

"What common English word can you think of that's 9 letters long and forms a new word every time you remove a letter from it? The letters stay in the same order each time. Think about it - the answer is startling!"

What do you think it is? Can you think of it without cheating (i.e. Google etc)?
